Hey heyy! So after the disaster that was yesterday's episode, I thought an update would help us to calm down. Don't get me wrong, the episode was good but that baby thing… N-o. (Who else thought Marcel was super-hot?)

Chapter 3 - Egyptian Beauty
Both friends were at home. Caroline was still sleeping but Bonnie was already up. The apartment they rented this time was nice. The walls were light blue with some white adornments, like those little flowers her grams used to sue on pillows. The floor was made of a beautiful wood and that was something Bonnie really liked, because she walked barefoot a lot.
They couldn't bring much because they had left Chicago in a hurry… You see, they've done this before but never because they were at risk of being caught. That had never happened. Caroline was one of the greatest thieves she's ever known. Ironic, huh?
Although they couldn't bring much, they always brought something special of their own.
Bonnie had this necklace with a fake ruby that when opened you could see the picture of a beautiful woman, her grams. She has been all to Bonnie, besides Caroline of course, that was like a sister, she had raised her and loved her unconditionally, it was really sad and it broke her heart to think about her dead grams. Now she only had Caroline and they would always protect each other.
"Bon, everything ok?" She heard the blonde calling behind her while stretching her arms up and making funny noises. Ah, she had almost forgot the beauty it is Caroline's waking up.
"Yup, no worries sleepyhead." Bonnie answers.
"So, what's there to eat?" Caroline asked as she rolled her ring around her finger. That was Caroline's special thing. The thing she never left behind. The ring has a blue stone attached to it, lapis lazuli, Bonnie thinks. Her dad had given it to her a long time ago. They haven't seen each other for years now, since that horrible fight.
"Oh, sorry Care. Let me just go get the room service." Bonnie says as she walks to the window and opens it. "Hey, AIR!" She called "Come here, Caroline wants food" She laughs and walks back to Caroline's side "Sorry, he isn't home. We'll have to do groceries."
"Oh Bonnie, I forgot how funny you were" Caroline gives her a fake smile. "Perhaps something will stop that awful good mood. How about the cellphone that has been ringing all morning from an unknown number that we both it's your admirer?"
"OMG! Shut up, that annoying… thing won't stop!" Bonnie says exasperated.
"Oh look, it worked." Caroline squeals as she moves around Bonnie to get a glass of water.
"Ugh, on to more mattered subjects. Damon has a new job for us." She says as she reaches for a catalogue of the White Oak Museum and shows Caroline a necklace.
"Ooh, fancy." The blonde looks at the Egypt exquisite beauty.
"I know right?" Bonnie says dreamily. I wish I could afford one of these. It's so pretty… and I love Egyptian things."
"One day Bon, we'll have enough money to buy you a hundred of those." She says as she kisses her friend's cheek.
"Now, food, then we'll get to the museum, do some research. We have to know the place with the palm of our hands, every entry, every hiding place, everything. I won't let what happened in Chicago happen again."
Bonnie sighs "Let's get to work then. Chop-chop."

"Still calling that Alicia, huh? You really don't know how to take a hint, do you?" Klaus says laughing at his younger brother.
"She'll pick up this time, Nik. I can feel it." When no one picks up, he growls irritated and throws the phone away as he hears Klaus laughing without stop. "At least I got her number, what have you got from your little blonde bombshell?"
"Well from what you told me, I know I got her real name and you don't" He says kicking his brother's leg playfully, yet frustrated.
Kol reacts and kicks him in the chest. As the two start fighting Stefan comes in and watches the scene amused.
"So this is what you're doing instead of working on the case I gave you?"
"Oh right, I forgot to do something mate." Klaus says and launches at Stefan kicking him too "Were you working on the cade yesterday when you were eating my baby sister too?"
Kol starts laughing uncontrollably in the background. This is too good to be true.
"Klaus!" Stefan's eyes grow big "It's not like that. I swear. Rebekah… isn't the same."
"Aww, can you believe it? Our boss is a lovesick puppy" He hears Kol saying behind him "Woof, woof. Maybe we should give you a treat" He says, throwing a Donnut at him "Go get it boy!"
"I SWEAR I'M GOING TO KILL KOL MIKAELSON!" Stefan menages to take Klaus from off of him and throws the Donnut at Kol.
"My shirt! You motherfucker. You're gonna regret this Steffey."
"Klaus, you keep your brother away from me." He says as he marches to the door and then comes back "And take care of the goddamn case!" He marches again "Now!"
"See what you've done Kol?" Klaus says to his brother trying to keep a serious face.
"Shut up. You started it!" Kol snaps back, cleaning his shirt.
"Alright, alright. Now the case. This thieves seem to be woman. They've robbed valuable paintings, but mostly jewelry. Is there going to be any exhibition anytime soon?" Klaus asks his brother.
"Well, I know about at least two exhibitions. One of them is in the White Oak Museum and the other is at the Bourbon Antique. Both of them are good targets I suppose." Kol answers.
"Do you know which of those has the most expensive piece?"
"Well, they both have interesting pieces, but I've been hearing a lot of things about this Egyptian necklace from 1846" Kol answered starting to understand Klaus's plan.
"Now, if I were a little thief, with police of Chicago on my back, I would run from there. And I would run to a place where I could still "have a job" right?" Klaus thinks out loud.
"Right"
"And now New York happens to have not one but two exhibitions and one of them has an expensive and antique necklace, this one being the main piece of that exhibition. If I were a thief with this information, where would I go?"

"I think that could be a good way out Care" Bonnie says as she passes the binoculars to Caroline.
"I think so too. And we still have the vent pipes if something goes wrong" Caroline says giving the binoculars to Bonnie again.
"Ok we should enter now, blend in with the tourists so we can have a better look at where the necklace is situated" Bonnie says.
"OMG! Bonnie don't look now but your admirer is right there" Caroline says, starting to panic "And he brought his friend with him!" She gulps.
"WHAT? I mean what?!" Bonnie looks through her shoulder and sees the two good looking man standing a couple of feet away from them "We have to get inside now, I don't want them to see us Care" Bonnie starts to hurry inside with Caroline following.
"Heyyy! Aliciaaa! It's Kol! Wait" Kol runs through the sea of people and reaches them "Hi girls! Missed me?"
"Caroline. We meet again. It's good to see you. So what are you doing here?" Klaus says giving her a dimpled smile.
She bits her nails nervously "We're just looking. It's a fine exhibition. Gotta go, Bonnie! Camon." She turns on her heels to leave but Klaus grabs her arm.
"Not so fast. Can we talk a bit, love? Please?" He gives her the puppy eyes but then realizes something "Wait, Bonnie? What about Alicia?" He smirks at his brother.
"She told me her name was Joe" Kol says as he pretends to sob." I mean Alicia. Why would you do that to me?"
"Well, you looked like a pervert!" Caroline says. "And now you look like a stalker pervert" Caroline starts panicking again and looks at Klaus "You're not…right?"
"Camon, I promise I'm not a serial killer." Klaus answers "Shall we see the exhibition? We came here too, so…?" He pleads.
"No!" Caroline and Bonnie answer at the same time. They can't be distracted. They have to study the museum, with them there it will be a hundred times harder.
"Camon Bonnie. Please. I promise I won't call you tonight." Kol says still grabbing Bonnie's arm.
"Fine" She answers with a sigh.
"By the way, I love your real name." He smiles sweetly at her.
"Thanks" She can't help it, he is charismatic, ok?
"Hey, douchebag, let's go. If you still want to. Or I'll just leave you here." Caroline growls at Klaus.
"My little tiger. I like that about you" He says eyeing her attentively.
"Shut up" She says as she turns around to enter the museum with a small smile on her face. She can't help it either. He just doesn't give up and let's admit it, he's gorgeous… and that accent! Stop it! She thinks to herself for the hundredth time in those two days.
